Who were the first Europeans? Take a journey with us through the lands of the European continent to discover its earliest cultures and civilisations. From the cave-painters of Lascaux and Altamira to the Aegean paradise of Minoan Crete, we shall cover over 30,000 years of human pre-history.

Along the way, we shall encounter ancient cities in Iberia, standing stones in Brittany, gaze at the remains of the first Scandinavians and alpine hunters, and explore henges and barrows in the British Isles. Join us as we witness the birth of Europe.

7 weeks, Friday 26 January - Friday 15 March (incl., with half-term break on 16 February).

NB This is a freelance course, and cannot be run as Robert’s in-venue courses have been in the past. So that we can establish whether we are able to run the course without making a financial loss, we’d be grateful if you could complete your registration with payment within 14 days of booking. Payment is via BACS or cheque (details for which will be sent when we receive your booking).

Should the course not attract sufficient interest to run, we’ll contact all who have registered, and full refunds will be issued.

If you have not registered beforehand and want to turn up and pay on the day, please be aware that the course will not run if there are not enough registrations to render it feasible. You are, of course, very welcome to decide to attend at the last minute, but do please be sure to contact us before making any plans or journeys, to check that it is indeed taking place as we hope that it will.
